RedPress Offers Lower-Cost Press Release Distribution for Small Businesses
RedPress is introducing a new pricing structure for press release distribution, aiming to be a more affordable alternative for small businesses compared to services like PR Newswire. Pricing starts at $169 with no annual fees or per-word charges.
Press release distribution service RedPress has launched a new pricing model targeting small businesses with a more cost-effective alternative to established players like PR Newswire. According to pricing information for 2026, RedPress services start at $169, with no requirement for an annual membership fee and no additional charges based on the word count of the release.
Small businesses have faced significant cost challenges with the high pricing of traditional press release distribution services. PR Newswire, for example, typically charges over $1,145 for a single national release, with extra fees for longer texts and multimedia. Many also require an annual membership, making the service prohibitive for smaller companies.
RedPress's model aims to address these issues by offering a one-time fee that includes distribution without word count limitations. The service also includes a report on the release's placement. This approach removes the burden of membership fees and per-word costs that often hinder small businesses from disseminating their news.
In comparison, RedPress and another competitor, ReachWire (starting at $239), present themselves as viable options. ReachWire offers up to a 100% placement guarantee and human-written releases. However, RedPress's more accessible pricing makes it a notable choice for small businesses seeking a budget-friendly solution for broader news dissemination.
